Lyrics

Verse

The field is not a room The field has no walls The field is what the walls were keeping out The field is what I was keeping out

Chorus

Basalt salt wind water sky Basalt salt wind water sky The compass gives the same answer No matter which way you face

Verse 2

A woman walks to the edge of the lake She is not looking for anything She is looking at the lake The lake is not looking back

Chorus

Basalt salt wind water sky Basalt salt wind water sky The compass gives the same answer No matter which way you face

Bridge

She puts her hand in the water The water does not ask She puts her hand in the water The water does not ask

Final Chorus

Basalt salt wind water sky Basalt salt wind water sky The compass gives the same answer No matter which way you face The field is what the walls were keeping out The field is what I was keeping out
